I was at this art installation and there where hundreds of people there enjoying it and having a good time, it’s supposed to be a joke, not taken seriously. The only thing insufferable going on is sad old people judging others and getting upset that young people like something they don’t like. Cry more about it.

Ironic. i·ron·ic. adjective. Example: A person who claims to hate a type of “insufferable behavior”, but then becomes an even more insufferable person despite not being able to see the juxtaposition caused by this.
